Quickly find your ideal charging point!
At Mobiflow, we listen to our users and continuously improve our app to make your charging experience as smooth as possible. That’s why we’re introducing a completely revamped filter view in the Mobiflow app! With this update, finding the perfect charging point is faster, more intuitive, and more flexible. The new filter view will be available starting next month, so get ready to enjoy an enhanced experience soon!
What’s new?
We’ve simplified and streamlined the interface. The individual filter options at the top of the screen have been replaced with two buttons:
- Filter: Opens a comprehensive filter menu where you can easily set your preferences.
- Nearby List: A blue button that takes you directly to a list of charging points in your current area.
Active filters indicator
Once you activate a filter, you’ll immediately see how many filters are active. Want a fresh start? Simply use the new “Reset filter” option.
The updated filter options in detail
The filters are designed to help you find charging points that perfectly match your needs. Below is an overview of the key filter categories:
1. Location
The “Location” category is new and replaces the “Operator” filter. Previously, you could browse operator-specific lists (like Gireve or e-clearing). Now, we display all charging points by default, including those from more than 1,200 operators worldwide. However, you can also opt for a more specific view: Mobiflow locations only.
Additionally, “Restricted locations” falls under this category. Think of charging points with limited availability due to time-restricted access or specific conditions, such as chargers behind a barrier or those available exclusively to hotel guests.
2. Connector Type
This filter allows you to select the plug type you need. Our selection is based on the most common types in Europe:
-
- Type 2 and Type 2 Combo (the most popular options, covering more than 98% of all charging stations).
- Chademo
3. Status
Want to know if a charging point is available? This filter lets you view the status of each charging point:
-
- Available: Green, all charging points with at least 1 available connector.
- In Use: Blue, charging points where all connectors are in use.
- Out of Service: Red, for charging points that are not operational.
- Unknown: Grey, sometimes status data are not available.
4. Charging Speed
With a handy slider, you can set the minimum and maximum charging speed to display only those points that support your desired speed. This is ideal when you’re in a hurry and need a fast charge!
User-friendly search experience
Once you’ve set your filters, click Apply filter. The app sends your preferences to our server, and within seconds, you’ll get a list of charging points that match your criteria. The filter menu also integrates seamlessly with the Nearby List, making it easier to find charging points near you.
Why these updates?
We understand that efficient charging is crucial for EV drivers. With this update, we’ve not only made it easier to find charging points but also tailored the experience to the specific needs of our users. Whether you’re looking for a free charging station quickly or have specific requirements like charging speed or access times, the updated filters make it possible.
